Only low-status groups evoke pure low-low derogation, not envied high-status groups.
Evidence
Who came closest to fitting the pure antipathy hypothesis? Poor Blacks, poor Whites, and welfare recipients (along with other groups that depend on the sample, as noted) reliably elicited low marks on both dimensions, which amounts to derogation relative to other clusters. The cluster that reliably scored the lowest on both warmth (student M 2.66, nonstudent M 2.74) and competence (student M 2.29, nonstudent M 2.41) differed significantly (p .01) from the other means in 8 out of 12 comparisons across the two samples. — Susan T.
